CPKC Biz Train at Niles Jct
On a stormy morning in southeast Texas, a CPKC business train rolls eastward on the Freight Main of UP's Houston Sub in Houston's 1st Ward. The old SP searchlights still stand at Niles Jct, though their replacements were put up not long after this photo was taken.
CPKC so far has kept KCS's gorgeous F9's and is continuing to use them for business trains on former KCS territory. This is one such example, returning from a trip to Laredo. And although the train still consists of KCS's passenger cars, when this was taken about a third of them had been repainted into CP's Tuscan Red.
